How do I install a recycling bin Icon?

:confused

Im confused. it's a .Png file i believe. Never heard of such a file.

Will i have issues replacing a desktop icon?
thanks.

 

What is your operating system?

Try going to the desktop, right click, choose properties, choose effects tab,
select your icon.

If you actually mean "restore" the Recycling Bin icon to your desktop... Check out this MSKB link:

"The Recycle Bin does not appear on the desktop"

Side Note: This article applies to all versions of both Microsoft Windows XP and Vista​

Good Luck!

 

Sorry comp for not being descriptive enough but no i DL'd a icon from a skin site that is .Png

I think ill try Studiot's instructions unless told otherwise (XP SP2) by the way.

 

Yea so im def confused. I wanna change this icon in the folder below to my "MyTunez" folder icon.
The skin file is .Png When i right click on my "MyTunez" folder>properties>customize>browse> Icon skin folder does not show the icon. Im guessing .PNG is not an acceptable file?

Do i need a program? what am i missing?
thanks

You will see that versions of Windows before Vista do not support .png files for icons.

Take the icon into paintshop pro or similar and save as an icon file. Or convert as here

Try converting the .PNG to .JPEG (or .GIF) format using Media Convert Online. You could also use a program like IrfanView to convert the .PNG file to .JPEG (or .GIF) format.

PNG is a format to store pictures in. You could compare it to GIF or JPEG.

The letters PNG stands for: Portable Network Graphics, which is simply a bitmap image format that employs lossless data compression (typically uses the "PNG" file-extension).

Lately, animated GIFs are all the rage on the Internet. Unfortunately there is currently no "animated" PNG format and there will never be an official one. The PNG consortium does allow extensions to the format.

 

Thanks. Could i avoid the converter by importing the picture to my "Paint" n saving as Jpeg?

Edit: Guess not, Strange lol.

Edit#2: wow thanks great site! thought it was a app.

Edit#3 Damn man, says jpg is not a icon file. now im lost...

 

No i don't. I figured as much on the extension thing when i googled the issue but i couldnt figure out which program i needed if any to convert JPG to ICO if any.

I assume i need TweakUI?

 

how do i install recycle bin

 

The quickest is probably to download and install,Twekui one of the "Power Toys" available from Microsoft
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

Run that, and the Desktop section allows you to select which icons to show on the desktop by default. You should be able to turn the recycle bin back on there.

 

I still receive the message of generic host process for win32 and then my internet is not working
